Benvenuti

Welcome to a new journal of the plein air experience in Italy. Since I've been at this for more than thirty years--

in progress outside Civita Castellana, Lazio, May 2011

starting during a year abroad working in watercolor with the masterful Frank Montana--there may be some historical catching up along with up-to-date postings. I hope what I have to show does credit to all of those who've come before me, to my masters, mentors, colleagues and friends who've inspired me and/or with whom I've painted. In that spirit, I hope it informs and inspires others. And, from a culture that truly values the work of the human hand like perhaps no other, this wish:


Buon lavoro,


David
